feat(schema): add UNF/NOINDEX field attributes (#374)

Add support for UNF (un-normalized form) and NOINDEX attributes
for schema field classes, following Python RedisVL PR #386.

Features:
- TextField: Add UNF support via Jedis sortableUNF()
- NumericField: Add UNF flag (stored but limited by Jedis)
- NOINDEX: Already supported via indexed=false
- Comprehensive unit tests (16 tests)
- Maintains backward compatibility

Key behaviors:
- UNF only applies when sortable=true
- UNF preserves original character case for sorting
- NOINDEX prevents indexing, field still sortable/retrievable
- TextField & NumericField support both UNF and NOINDEX
- TagField & GeoField support NOINDEX only

Limitations:
- Jedis NumericField doesn't have sortableUNF() yet
- Filed TODO to request Jedis enhancement
